Abstract (en)

A bracing device includes an annular tie-up plate (3) and a plurality of packing members (4) to tie up individual posts (151, 152) which are used to support modular diffusers (161) of an annealing furnace (1). The tie-up plate (3) has a plurality of inner tubular surfaces (351) respectively defining bores (35) for passage of posts (151,152) respectively therethrough. Each packing member (4) is disposed between the inner tubular surface (351) and the corresponding post (151,152) to prevent relative movement between the inner tubular surface (351) and the corresponding post (151,152), thereby holding the tie-up plate (3) firmly between a furnace base (11) and the diffusers (161). A plurality of spacers (6) are disposed between the tie-up plate (3) and the base (1) so as to secure the tie-up plate (3) at a height position.
